List Of Bollywood sequels to look forward to in 2018

Believe it or not, but sequels are a lucrative business and have done wonders in Bollywood lately. They are a safe bet for the filmmakers who want to cash in on the huge success of their past films and make a lot of moolah at the ticket window with sequels. Like 2017, which saw the release of breakout sequels like Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Judwaa 2, Golmaal Again, Fukrey Returns and Tiger Zinda Hai, 2018 is also going to be littered with a lot of sequels, in addition to a series of biopics. Here, we have rounded up the list of Bollywood sequels to look forward to in 2018.

1921


Starring Karan Kundra and Zareen Khan, 1921 is the fourth movie in the 1920 film series, the previous ones being 1920, 1920 Evil Returns and 1920 London. Directed by Vikram Bhatt, 1921 is slated to release on 12th January 2018. The trailer of the film has been released and has garnered a positive response from the audience. Hope the film does justice to its previous instalments.

Hate Story 4

One of the most successful erotic-thriller franchises, Hate Story, is coming up with its fourth instalment, Hate story 4.

The film features Karan Wahi, Urvashi Rautela and Ihana Dhillon in lead roles. It is releasing on March 2.

2.0

Helmed by Shankar, 2.0 is a sequel to superstar Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 2010 blockbuster film Enthiran, which was released as Robot in Hindi and some other popular languages. 2.0 stars Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson in lead roles. It is being touted as the costliest film ever made in Indian cinema. The sci-fi film is scheduled to release in April 2018.
